Falling into the Cretaceous

Zhang Qiming remained silent for a long time.

"Then we must make a thorough plan and absolutely cannot take any risks," Zhang Qiming said. He was very clear about Shen Ye's importance and that nothing could go wrong with him.

Shen Ye's time as leader was too short. If it had been long enough, and he had developed an emotional dependence on the people, he wouldn't have needed to risk going out.

We have no choice but to go out now; without him there, no one else dares to act.

"I understand. You should discuss this with Cui Zhengxi," Shen Ye said.

"Choi Jung-seok? That Korean?" Zhang Qiming asked.

"Yes, it's him. He's no ordinary person. He killed two savages today. He's brave, decisive, and has strong reconnaissance skills and vigilance."

Shen Ye said.

"But he's a very quiet person, and I'm not sure if he's reliable," Zhang Qiming said.

"Don't worry, he wouldn't want me to die."

Shen Ye smiled faintly and said.

Cui Zhengxi had already acknowledged him as her leader; otherwise, when they broke out of the forest, Cui Zhengxi wouldn't have protected him all the way to the leader to fight the enemy.

It seemed like he was putting himself at risk, but it was actually more about completing the "leadership ceremony." Moreover, when he recalled the scene of killing the savage leader, Cui Zhengxi had been protecting him the whole time, especially when he fell to the ground, Cui Zhengxi had deflected the savage's spear from his side.

Seeing Shen Ye's certainty, Zhang Qiming no longer doubted and nodded emphatically.

"Okay, I'll go out and talk to him now!"

Zhang Qiming got up and walked out.

When he reached the broken section of the hull, he glanced at the knotted ropes lying around him, which looked like gibberish to these laymen.

But Shen Ye could see it clearly, which he greatly admired. In the eyes of modern people under immense pressure to survive, this almost useless knowledge is probably only learned by those who are passionate about it.

Even this staunch materialist began to waver, thinking that Shen Ye might really be sent by God to save them.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Zhang Qiming shook his head with a wry smile, clearing his mind of unnecessary thoughts. Standing outside the cabin, he glanced around and quickly spotted Cui Zhengxi and her daughter squatting by the dinosaur feeding it grass.

Zhang Qiming strode over.

Cui Zhengxi also saw him and stood up.

"Mr. Cui, you should be able to understand Chinese, right?" Zhang Qiming spoke directly in Chinese. Although he spoke English fluently, he preferred to speak Chinese.

Cui Zhengxi nodded.

What do you need?

Cui Zhengxi asked, his Chinese accent wasn't very pure, but it wasn't bad either.

"Here's what happened..."

Zhang Qiming told Cui Zhengxi everything about Shen Ye's future plans. Cui Zhengxi was surprised, but after a little thought, she knew that it was the right thing to do.

I never expected to think of that.

The reason is simple: like everyone else, he is unwilling to venture out and take risks unless there is a necessity.

"What does he need me to do?" Cui Zhengxi asked.

Zhang Qiming shook his head.

"I don't know. Brother Ye told me to tell you, and you'll naturally know how to arrange things. He's treating you like a security advisor," Zhang Qiming said.

Cui Zhengxi neither nodded nor shook her head, but looked at the main cabin with complicated emotions, as if she could see Shen Ye inside.

"I understand. I'll talk to him about it later," Cui Zhengxi said. Zhang Qiming didn't say anything more; the rest was beyond his control.

More than an hour later, the more than sixty pancakes were finally cooked. Under Lin Ruochu's arrangement, their group leaders came over to collect the corresponding number of pancakes.

Soon, crispy tree pith cakes were handed out to everyone, and Ningbo also took a cake and ran into the cabin.

"Brother Ye! Brother Ye! Time for some pancakes!"

Shen Ye was woken up by Ningbo, and a pancake was handed to him. Shen Ye picked it up and looked at it. The pancake looked a bit like Indian roti.

Because it has poor stickiness, the pancake is rolled up, similar to the Jianbing Guozi sold on the streets of Guangdong, except that it doesn't contain any fruit.

"Brother Ye, eat up, it's crispy and delicious."

Ningbo ate and talked at the same time.

This foreigner has been completely "Sinicized." Whether it's his speech, demeanor, or even his diet, he's a completely authentic Chinese person.

Shen Ye's stomach was also growling with hunger, so he picked it up and started eating.

It wasn't particularly delicious.

But because I was so hungry, I didn't want to chew it much. After my saliva softened it, I swallowed it directly.

The portion was small; it didn't fill me up or make me hungry.

Drinking half a cup of water after eating will make you feel noticeably full.

That's already pretty good.

It's hard to imagine that someone who fell into the Cretaceous period could have water and pancakes on the second day. It would be impossible without luck.

Shen Ye ate as he walked over to Lin Ruochu and the others.

"Brother Ye".

The fat man greeted Shen Ye, and Lin Ruochu nodded back to Shen Ye before lowering her head to eat her pancake.

"Fatty, your cooking is delicious. What's your name?" Shen Ye asked.

"Brother Ye, my name is Deng Chao. You can just call me Fatty Chao, that's what everyone calls me." Deng Chao said with a simple smile, his head slightly lowered.

"You share the same surname as Engineer Deng, and you're probably not as old as me, so I'll call you Xiao Chao!" Shen Ye said. He clearly didn't like the name Fei Chao, but he was just passively accepting it.

"Okay, Brother Ye, are the pancakes I made not good?" Deng Chao asked somewhat uncertainly.

"No, it's already amazing that it's so crispy without any seasoning. I wanted to ask how much of the ingredients you used this time?" Shen Ye asked.

"Just one bag, about 30 jin (15 catties)."

Deng Chao said.

"How many bags do we have in total?" Shen Ye asked again.

"There are still 21 bags left," Deng Chao said.

Shen Ye did the math.

"Three meals a day, that's enough for seven days. From now on, the women's food will be smaller, and the men's food will be larger, distributed according to need."

Shen Ye said.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Ye." Deng Chao nodded.

No one objected to Shen Ye's arrangement, since women don't need to do too much physical labor, so this arrangement was very reasonable.

We can't achieve distribution according to work right now, nor can we create things like food coupons or work points, since this little society is just starting out.

Shen Ye was thinking again.

For 21 savages, obtaining over 300 kilograms of tree pith would be no easy task; it could take five or six days.

This means that the food supply in the savage tribe will soon run out unless several members of their tribe work outside.

But based on his understanding of the savage tribes...

This tribe should be equivalent to a clan tribe, with a population of between fifty and one hundred. With such a size, they would most likely have already developed the concept of intermarriage and trade with other tribes.

In other words, in such a resource environment, there would be a tribe about 30 kilometers away, and they should have very simple trade with each other. These tree pith might have been obtained by exchanging them with some tribes.

If this is the case, it will create many problems that cannot be ignored and will directly affect the survival of these survivors!
